Donald Rumsfeld Stepping Down? (Update: Confirmed)

Breaking news:  Donald Rumseld may be stepping down. Stay tuned.

Update:  It's official.  President Bush is confirming it at a press conference right now. He is appointing Bob Gates to replace Donald Rumsfeld.  Here is Wikipedia's entry on Dr. Robert Michael Gates (already updated mere seconds after the announcement -- good work!) 

President Bush is saying now that he and Rumsfeld are making the change to bring a fresh perspective to bear.  He also emphasizes that leaving before Iraq is able to defend itself would be a mistake.
